I tryed fighting it but it just did not wear off. I learned some information that may wear it off. try and fight it with your eyez cloased and see what you can learn from it
you don't have depression. i have derealization also and i do have that same feeling as if i wanna just go home once i leave....but having this attitude does not help anything. you must force yourself to be involved in things, even though you might not enjoy it or feel anything in general but in the end it is helping you....sitting at home all day accomplishes nothing and you are literally letting this disorder consume you...trust me i've been dealing with this shit too
I've had this for over a year now with no feelings or at least fake feelings, i hate being outside of my house because i feel worse.
I have tried everything possible to try and overcome this and the only thing that has helped me is liqurice root and goto gola which helped me to see and think more clear.
I'm getting help soon but i remain doubtfull due to the face no cure is known.
Hey everyone. Like most of you, I suffer from Derealization. And I wanted to express how I feel, so I wrote a song based on DP and Derealization. Its called "Black & White", go to my page and check it out. It made me feel better being able to talk about it, so I hope it helps some of you as well.
WOW thank u soo much for making this i feel exactly the same way:S it sucks .. its really hard for me to explain the way im feeling but ur video explains it all... i feel like i dont have feeling for anyone, i pertend like i do though because i fear in losing people and staying alone, i want to go to school but i cant seem to concentrate as hard as i try, my mind is alwaysblank or foggy. i hate it, its ruining my life, i cant even reember most of my past.
DP/ DR is a protection mechanism that the nervous system uses to avoid overload. It is completely harmless and normal. The problem is it feels absolutely like the most alien thing you can EVER feel. What causes it = stress and fear. As soon as you become alarmed by the sensation it makes it worse. In order to lose it you have to give up all hope of ever losing it. By not caring about, it, by not engaging it - this dis empowers it.
hey i think i have this. i feel so restless and like im in a dream but not in a dream. like theres a wall in my mind a cant pass but am trying to escape. hey dont kill urself. im 17 try goin to highschool with this shit
I empathize with you. I have HPPD occurring from repeated drug use and it is slow being accompanied with depersonalization. My parents don't believe me so I can't even see a doctor and it gets to the point where I can't turn off the lights to sleep. However bad it gets though, please don't kill yourself! Girl you are only 23 you have your whole life in front of you and you will make it! :D
see its simple its all phycology u dont feel the same so u trick your self into thinkin about it too much so just chill ur thinkin too hard to wanna kill your self and instead of wanting to die u should wanna live i got to a point where i wuz so depressed i wuz way past suicide i just wanted to live lol but yeah look up dopamine defficiancy i think that might be a coulprit
Yes, it's in my head, that's why I tried to kill myself 2 times and stayed 3 days between life and death. You feel too bad to make a video but you don't mind watching and criticizing. You can't compare people's pain.
@SeanSaosin LOL that doesnt have shit to do with it. thats so fucking dumb. obviously, shes forcing herself to make a video, you could have done the same dumbass.....
RESISTANCE IS USELESS. DR/DP is a normal human experience. It is reality breaking through. The self is an illusion. Give into the feeling and it will fade.
smoking weed gave me derealization and ur an idiot its all in your head....it is wher the fuck else is it lol basically amagin walkin with a vidio camera and looking through the screen instead of your eyes thats exactly how it feels
the restlessness is horrid i know i was in science once and i had to move walk run scream cry god it was naasty..............i really feel exactly the same.....the emotion thing...pretend to feel normal. everyone nearly has smoked weed...most cases are probably not linked but can be helped but however hard it gets stay strong there is light over this hill infront.
I hear you, I wish I never did drugs, I'm a mess now and am covered in scars, mentally and physically. For some reason though I was drawn to drugs. I think because I looked to them as a way to break free of my shyness when I was like 13 or so.
I understand this feeling. I have had this feeling off and on throughout my whole life. It has been accentuated in intensity lately. It does feel like being in a dream. Luckily, most of the time, if I "freak out" it only lasts for perhaps a minute. Just remember that, if you are aware of being derealized, you cannot be too derealized. In fact, I think that perfect derealization is perfect bliss. We, however, are caught in some awkward intermediary point.
i have suffered with this for most of my life and after a long time you sort of forget what it was like to be so-called 'normal'. i was always amazed at people wanting to smoke pot, hating the effect myself and never coming back from my first 'high'... but the word needs to be spread because it can truly mess you up for life. i am dealing with it best i can but it is hard. i wonder how many other ex-hippies are out there with this problem.
Welcome to life and the world as seen through D.P/D.R. 6 years of forced marriage to the bit*h and its still kinky. I personally wish it would go away ASAP but I've prepared myself mentally that it could indeed be 'till death do us part'! lol. Anyhow,...as an alternative to taking meds (which I'm no fan of) I'd suggest people try sticking to regular patterns of sleeping, waking and eating in an almost military fashion. For some reason or another it 'helps' lessen their terrible effects for me. x
this has happened to me too, i feel like i'm in a cartoon world/in a picture-esque world and can't grasp the sense of reality and it's discomforting, it feels as if the puzzle piece should fit but just doesn't. For me what i have found to get comfort back and to get back to reality is do something like sports or something active outside because it triggers the release of endorphins, which make you feel good, and adrenaline, the which keeps your mind focussed on the task at hand.
So many things are connecting for me...like my first experience w/ pot, and the reasons I always feel guilty bout not loving my bf's (knowing I do intelecutaly but not feeling it emotionally, etc). Those are just to of the things that are coming to light for me. Im sure there will be more as I learn more about dp. Im still even amazed that Im not crazy and theres a name for it!
one more thing... i was trying to study as well but i had to stop... take a break for a while. i also got on income assistance from the government (called disability income assistance)... perhaps you can get on this and take a bit of weight off of yourself. i know it helped me heeps...
Awesome vid... you can check mine out too... just search "unigirl"... I know exactly how you are feeling... i've been going at it for 13 years now.. don't give up on meds... seroquel helped me lots. it's in the same family as risperdal... i may try risperdal again. tried it once but don't think i gave it enough time.
I suffer from derealization as well, and everything you've said is right on the dot. A gap between reality. I know it's real, I just feel as if I can't connect to reality itself. People just don't understand. It's frustrating. It started for me when I smoked some weed back in December 2007. It's now March and it still isn't gone. I long to return back to the way I was before. But it may have helped me. I took the things in my life for granted. If I ever come back, that will change with no doubt.
I'm 17 and I think I might be suffering from derealization. I've been feeling like this for about a month now, start extremely suddenly the day after I had smoked some weed. Going to see the doc tomorrow to see what he can do. If I do have the same thing I really feel for you, I just feel so distant. I can empathize with the whole studying thing too, its so hard to focus and motivate yourself. Stay strong though and don't do anything stupid, I'm sure things will get better in time =)
i'm so sorry for you. i know exactly how you feel, and its so hard. ask your dr for abilify, it helped me. also, try organic foods, no foods with anti biotics, quinolones cause dp. good luck!!!!
I know exactly how you feel darling...You are not alone. Check out my videos, and I will do my best to try and help you out with my expierences and drugs. Contact your doctor, and tell him/her about Xanax and Lorazepam. They are GAD drugs, and that is where Derealization comes from. You will see a big difference. Risperdal is nothing. Talk to your doctor about Seroquel and Zyban. You will see a big difference with them. Take care,
dereal is a gift cherish it you are a "god" one of the chosen ones!!!

I know all about the not wanting to do anything...
it's like you KNOW you should...and you want to...but at the same time you just DON'T...
For me it's like...nothing feels really..."real"
I used to smoke pot...and oddly enough it almost helped make me feel kinda normal...cause everyone else seemed the same...
For me it's not constant...but often -_-
I also tend to think about suicide a lot...but for me I think I'd be to scared...call me a coward -_- but I just couldn't.
